Pink Thing  


tied by Jimmy Aw
Fly Type: General Saltwater,

Recommended Region: Other,
Imitation: General Baitfish,
Material List: Ingredient...
Hook: Mustad #2 to 1/0
Thread : Dansvile 6/0, Hot Pink.
Eyes : Beadchain Eyes
Body/Tail: 4 white saddle hackle, 2 Grizzly hackle, about 6 - 8 strands of pearl Flashabou, White Bucktail.
Collar: Red or pink flash chenile & 02 Hot Pink Hackle.

Tying Instructions: Ingredient...
Using the thread, tie down 4 white saddle hackle as deceiver style 2 Grizzly hackle about 6 - 8 strands of pearl Flashabou on each side. (At the position of about 1/2 of hook shank length.)

Sparse White Bucktail over the top & bottom of hackles. (Not too dense.)

Wrap Red or pink flash chenile & 02 Hot Pink Hackle palmered to form hackle collar.

Tie down bead chain eyes after the collar, then coat the head with 5-minute epoxy.
Presentation Tips: Courtesy to the 1st initial brain child creation of Graham White, this pattern has become one of the greatest result producing pattern, at least in Asia Pacific. In it's own country, it is one of the top Australia pattern that can catch fish as parallel as Lefty's Deceiver in my opinion.

Here is website for the orginal fly's tying instruction & write up.

Introducing Hatches Magazine

While Supplies Last Get the 2007,2008 & 2009 Issues for only $10

Hatches is an annual publication with a strong devotion to professional writing, beautiful photography and informative articles pertaining to both the artistic and practical aspects of fly tying. Each issue features 13 featured articles that span a massive 96 pages.

I agree with the feedback you have received about Hatches. This is by far the best magazine I have seen that shares the wealth of knowledge without the additional 30 pages of vendor advertisements. I understand they are needed revenue but it is refreshing to see the quality of your articles etc. without having to thumb through all of the ads. I also take three other periodicals that are OK but no where nearly as good as Hatches. I wish you continued success and would like the opportunity to have 3 year subscriptions some time. Thanks again for all of your hard work and excellent presentation in Hatches. Best of luck, I wish you a long life and can't wait until you are recognized as the number one periodical presenting fly fishing knowledge.
